Gov. Bob Taft vetoed a ban on using money from a high-tech job initiative to pay for embryonic stem cell research, calling it too restrictive. Mr. Taft, a Republican, said that the ban would prohibit financing for research on existing stem cell lines, work that is allowed under federal regulations supported by President Bush.
